The inventive genius shown by the
photographers respecting the Hohenzol-
Tern family is really admirable. Hardly
day goes by that the shop windows do
not present new combinations which are
eagerly bought by the patriotic people.
No photographs sell 80 well rs those OF
the imperial family. The kaiser's
pictures, especially, are manufactured in
numbers and sent in quantities over all
Europe, Asia, Africa and America.
These, Of course, are not genuine az q
rule. only the heads are 30, while the
bodies and arrangements in general are
from other people or the product Of q
fertile artistic fancy. t
Great artists, however, follow this
same plan where their subjects arc inn
patient or lack time for extra sittings.
Anton Won Werner, in his celebrated Bis.
marck portrait, representing the chan
cellor resting his hand upon bundle Of
papers, employed the porter of the Art
academy, whom he clothed in the uni
form Of the curassier regiment which
Bismarck wears. This detraots from the
interest Of the picture, but it is the truth.
But the photographers go further. The
enterprise Of one brought him intocourt.
He had placed on exhibition in the show
window u photograph representing the
emperor with his great grandson upon
his knee. Naturally, the emperor had
never been photographed in this position.
The alleged descendant of his majesty
was simply a pretty child of Berlin
policeman, which closely resembled tile
offspring of Prince William. The origi-
nator was fined because of 'intention-
ally defrauding the public" Lately
another Of the same genie has appeared
in the windows, showing the emperor at
the historical window with the ruler of
tho fourth generation at his side. This
picture has become tremendously popu-
lar, though not more genuine than its
predecessor, and for wonder has not
bcen forbidden.
The latest of all is picture entitled
"Hohenzollern Luck" The grouping is
purely fight of fancy, though, one
should add, very pretty one. The CEN
ter of the group is, as usual, the emperor
standing on garden terrace, holding
with his left hand the son of Prince
William, who is clothed in white, and,
leaning his head upon the monarch, on
deavors to grasp the latter's ~'"Iron
Cross" which adorns his breast TIE
second son stands on q wall near by,
while the eldest brother, holding toy in
his hand, stands before the kaiser with
look which seems to say, II am future
ruler" On the right of the emperor
stands Prince William in the Hussar
uniform, bending over his wife, who
holds the youngest scion, August William,
born on the 27th of January. Tho IIancl
and the long avenues of tho Pots'.am
par; form the background. It is really
q charming picture and deserving Of its
